Well, they only show one battery being unloaded, any respectable commander knows at least a battalion is needed for adequate power projection, so by end of next week more flights will land. As for by passing this system, well no system is fool proof but MALD apart, JSOW and HARM are hardly the...

Well good luck because as seen all S-400 batteries are protected by Pantsir usually placed in vulnerable sneak up points like valleys, hills etc. With plenty of firepower, these can fill the area with auto cannon and missile fire. Moreso, known SEAD weapons like HARM are of no use against the...

Well game changer, absolutely. 400km missiles are meant for AWACS, transport, bombers etc but 250 km missiles can be quite be deadly for the fighters too, usually the MAWS system on F-16s can't spot missile launches at such large ranges by the time the system picks it up, might be too late...

Nope, this is the S-400 and they are big but the large Antonovs can easily carry them. You need several flights to lift an entire Battery.

ahaha Turkey is turning out to be the Pakistan of that area, pretty much everybody hates them :) Some of posts from the Turk members are just too hilarious. Pussies ran to NATO quicker that a rabbit gets fucked. Already the 1st battery of the S-400 is deployed, heard a whole regiment will be...

Well with the S-400 being deployed in Syria, in a matter of a week the entire air space will be under lock down pretty much to everybody other than Russia. Pantsir-S-1 will be placed closer to borders to prevent low level intrusions. Next time TUAF F-16s enter Syria, they'll be toast. The...

Good Work? They all got served like pigs.

Well you bitches over there are the reason ISIS is well entrenched, firing at an air to ground bomber show no balls actually, how about trying to take a shot at the Su-27s flying next time. Wait till the S-400 comes online in Syria, your aircraft can't enter Syrian airspace no more :) You...

Sorry but regardless of your military strength, your Govt. is full of pussies. Your President was so scared a couple of months back of ISIS that he had to call a emergency meeting in Brussels for NATO support. Your nation is essentially scared of rag tag group of terrorists. Nuff said, don't...

hahaha Any list that puts Canadians on top of everyone is a bogus list. WTF have they done lately. Same goes for Norway, Poland, German. Don't get me wrong. Training is one thing, daily operations is entirely another. Appropriate ranking: Tier 1: DELTA, ST6, 24th STS, Shayetet 13, SSG, Para...

Intel, well, the vast size of India furthermore, vast infrastructure of bunkers, shelters, underground across the mountains, valleys etc. ensure no one except a handful of people even in the NCA know where the real missiles. Secondly Pak doesn't have satellites that can produce any kind of...

Not happening, we first need to wait till the 36 are signed. The 90 further is not happening as the DM has clarified it. India will instead order 3 sds off the shelf PAKFA, around 2 sqds would come in by 2020. Rafale will be stuck at 36 if at all, at a later date perhaps next decade around 2021...

Very true, Rafale I believe if acquired should be at least 90 aircraft as even IAF claimed recently, 36 aircraft is nearly not enough. Sure, they are welcome and will help but they don't start to bring economies of scale that a larger fleet of 80+ aircraft does. With a larger fleet of at least 5...

Well S-400 sites won't be easy to find, firstly since they can move in and out of very well hidden shelters near mountains with clear fields of fire. Other than the Big Bird radar which will be more or less in a steady location, all other elements can move in and out of secret underground...

I seriously doubt that, all major cities will eventually receive AAD/PAD as Delhi and Mumbai already are. using S-400s for city defense is quite silly and if done will kill internal local ABM programs, that's not the case here. The numbers of 12-13 regiments being suggested point to a nation...

Well I am not the one who started comparing fighters to SAMs. That said S-400 can play both offensive or defensive roles. Enforcing a no fly zone over the border either in PAK or TAR does that. China has at least 5 air bases in TAR, sure it won't deter them that much but again their ingress...

Get your ahead out of your ***, read up before you open your mouth, coz its stinks. A Sanskrit poem comes to mind Utthamum dadhdadaath paadam...Madhyam paadam thuchuk chuk ...Ghanisthah thud thudi paadam...Surr surri praan gatakam.. suits you...

What garbage, Rafale in the paltry numbers of 36 being acquired have no added value. In the Indian context most of its French weapons are far too expensive for the number of targets we face. A single full regiment of S-400 has upwards of 256 missiles in ready to fire mode not counting reloads...

Incorrect, S-400 is a very offensive system, far more effective than the Rafale ever can be in swatting birds out of the air, a single regiment based on the border can cover plenty of Pak or TAR and enforce a no fly zone without ever crossing the border. It can cause havoc Rafale can't begin to...
